be married in a dark, musty justice of
the p%eace's office, in the presence of a
drunk and disorderly, by u magistrate
with a Titan nose and a breath that
would eat a hole through a tin roof, and
that after the ceremony George and I
would eat a cheese sandwich at the sta
ton and seal our union with a large
hunk of dappled sausage, l could not,
oh! | could not have believed it.

George says, for if we did she would
have to board at home. as we have only
n room, and it is not a very good
room either.

him would bake a pie for him with my
own fair hands. had never made 4
pie before all by my own sell, but l
wanted, oh, SO much, to make some
kind of a dish that would delight my

morning, when George HE'D him away

vent down stairs and asked, as a slight
ayor, that the lady who runs the house
would loan me her apron. her cooking
tove, a pie plate, two lemons. a cup OF
ugar, some milk, ETC., etc, as | desired !

lemon pie on his return, !
All last night | feared that in my

lie, and thus give myself away, as one .
